What is Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao?
The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao Tagalog: Rehiyong Awtonomo ng Muslim Mindanao; Arabic: Al-ḥukm adh-dhātī al-'iqlīmī li-muslimī Mindanāu;abbreviated as ARMM was an autonomous region of the Philippines, located in the Mindanao island group of the Philippines, that consisted of five predominantly Muslim provinces: Basilan except Isabela City, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi. It was the only region that had its own government. The region's de facto seat of government was Cotabato City, although this self-governing city was outside its jurisdiction.
The ARMM included the province of Shariff Kabunsuan from its creation in 2006 until July 16, 2008, when Shariff Kabunsuan ceased to exist as a province after the Supreme Court of the Philippines declared the "Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act 201", which created it, unconstitutional in Sema v. COMELEC and Dilangalen.
